According to the EPA, Since WWII approximately 80,000 chemicals have been introduced into the market place. Not one was tested for toxicology before 1976. Today only 10 chemicals/yr of the approximately 1,500/yr new chemicals are tested.
In most European countries these legislation’s have already been established. These governments have stepped in because of the known destructive effects of these toxic chemicals. America continues to put money and politics ahead of our health. When the people begin to wonder why they are so sick / diseased and understand it is highly connected to the toxins in the market place then hopefully, with all of us they will listen.
FIVE SIMPLE TOXIN REDUCING SWITCHES TO OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH, SPECIFICALLY YOUR HORMONES. By Dr. Daniel Pomp – Pompa Health Solutions Nutrition, Wellness and Weight Loss Optimization Clinic Wexford.
#1 ELIMINATE AND REDUCE PESTICIDES IN FOODS AND HOME
Pesticides include products to control insects (insecticides), rodents (rodenticides), fungi (fungicides), termites (termiticides), and germs (germicides or disinfectants). The suffix “-cide” means “killer”. These “killers” are used in and around over 91% of the homes in America and over 80% of our exposure occurs inside your homes. Collects in the dust in our home from the outdoors and what we spray in and around our home. In 1990 this “killers” poisoned over 79,000 children (www.aerias.org). But that number is small in comparison to the neuro-endocrine (hormones) disruption that is occurring inside us that is not being reported.
